Last updated: April 2026 dataStainless steel bars and rods that have been worked beyond cold-forming — or that do not fit the cold-formed category — fall into this residual NES classification, which captures further-processed, coated, or otherwise non-standard stainless bar forms. Active antidumping and countervailing duty orders on stainless steel bar from multiple origins have been a persistent feature of the US import landscape, making an AD/CVD scope check a standard step in the procurement process. The corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel make these bars essential in chemical processing, marine, and pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing.

SITC 67634 is limited to stainless bar not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished. This NES heading (67645) captures stainless bars that have been worked beyond that stage — such as those that are ground, polished, or machined to closer tolerances — as well as any stainless bar forms that do not fit the cold-formed definition. The distinction matters because the two headings may carry different duty treatment.
Austenitic grades such as 304 and 316 dominate stainless bar trade due to their broad corrosion resistance and weldability. Martensitic grades (e.g., 410, 420) appear in cutlery and valve applications, while duplex grades are increasingly specified for offshore and chemical plant equipment. The grade should be documented on the mill test certificate to support both classification and any AD/CVD scope determination.
